Stepped Folding Wall

At the Cleveland Browns Practice Facility in Cleveland, OHIO they needed a simple solution to divide up their lecture theater.

Skyfold Classic movable wall was chosen for the superior acoustical performance and the ease of operation.

One operable wall divides the room for the offense -- it separates the backs from the lineman. Raise the folding wall and the offensive coordinator can talk to the entire group.

The other movable wall divides the room used for the defense -- again, it separates the defensive backs from the linemen. When the individual coaches are finished, raise the wall and the defensive coordinator can address the entire group.

Multiple Operable Walls

With the Skyfold Classic operable walls already a huge success in their New York office, DS and Moodys Investment service in London had an easy decision when it came to choosing a supplier for wall dividers for their conference center in Canary wharf.

From an aesthetic, operational and functional perspective, there was no better product to meet Moody's needs.

The beauty of the Skyfold Classic movable wall being that it moves effortlessly and quietly with a simple turnkey operation.

And because it is stored in the ceiling cavity, it offers incredibly efficient use of space as no wall pockets are required.

The installation completed in June won the AIS Contractor's Gold Award for 2010 in the UK.

There were a total of 3 folding walls, each 26 feet wide by 8 feet high.

Sustainable Operable Wall

A world leader in sustainable design, the renowned architectural firm of LPA chose Skyfold movable wall system for their assignment at the Flight Projects Center of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory located in Pasadena California.

Fast and easy to use coupled with highly efficient use of space made the Classic folding wall an obvious choice for the large meeting area.

An added bonus is the energy savings component offered by the Skyfold room divider. Mechanically resilient and extremely pliable end seals ensure a tight coupling against most surfaces to help save on heating, air conditioning and lighting costs.

Completed in December 2008 the 42 by 11 foot folding wall is finished in Designtex.

Acoustical Folding Wall

The recently dedicated $82 million dollar Mitchell Physics Building at Texas A&M in College Station Texas chose a Skyfold Classic more...

The movable walls were installed in June of 2009. The span is 52 feet long and 21 feet tall at its highest point.

The operable walls are finished with red oak veneer on the bottom panels and a Guilford of Maine fabric for the rest of the wall.

Innovative Movable Wall

Based in Potomac Maryland the law firm of Shulman, Rodgers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker chose a Skyfold Classic folding wall solution for their boardroom.

They did not want their spectacular view of the surrounding countryside obstructed when the operable wall was in the up position. Skyfold deployed an innovative architectural element in the form of a glass 'T' where the Classic operable wall intersects with the exterior wall.

The installation completed in June of 2009 has two 24 feet by 9 feet high folding partitions finished in Carnegie Dash.

The client uses this operable wall 3 to 4 times per day. Each time they have a meeting in the space, the wall is in the up position. They lower the wall with their client present.

They call it the "WOW factor" of their redeveloped space.

Space Saving Room Dividers
